1. Starcraft is a matter of vital importance to the State; the province of life or death; the road to survival or ruin. It is mandatory that it be thoroughly studied.

There are two qualities that make the mutalisk a powerful weapon. They can fly, and in groups they operate very well. The battle cruiser, like the mutalisk, can also fly; in groups they can operate well. Although they are harder to tech to, and be successfully maintain. Yet when the build is pulled off correctly it can spell defeat for any opponent; when done incorrectly only finishing in humiliation.

Battlereports.com is a haven to replay lovers, report writers, SC fans, and internet retards. For fan fiction writers BR.com is more of a beacon that this group must guide towards. Like a fly propelling towards a light in the middle of the night, fan fictions writers are lured by the glow of the BR.com screen. Swatted, miserable, and abused the fiction writers continue towards the light without reluctance. Although in the end, weakened, most give up and die away. Like classic Darwinism, only the strongest survive.

Often it is the glow of success that drives a man forward. No matter how cloaked that success may be, how rustic it may lie, victory is the strongest drive to overall triumph. All writers start somewhere, all flowers from a seed, all Iggys, Sigs, and whatnots from eggs.

5. “Have fun”

Date: You find out.

Okay, okay. You made it this far and you haven’t quit reading. This means that either you are completely bored, or you… it means you are completely bored. Yet do not worry. These precious moments of your life were not wasted in vain, and soon the true meaning of this report will start to seep through. Everything has meaning and everything has interpretations. The trick is finding the meaning to it all.

Did you know that if you go into the news archive and scroll to the bottom of the screen, you can see the first actual post made by JV?

“May 3rd

I got the submit report page up and running. I will probably make changes to it later, but its done for now. I am working on the view reports page currently, so I guess you can submit your reports but you can't look at them yet!”

May 3^rd 1999 was a proud day for br.com. Not that any of the other br.com days were unimportant; May 3^rd was the start of days. A gamble taken by the developers to unleash a site that was to not be maintained by the administrators, rather the viewers of the page. Through a roller coaster of twists and turns change became rapid, and the fruits of labor were quick to be seen. Writers were born, visions enhanced, and Bengalaases abroad.  

As starcraft aged years young, br.com strengthened. Patch 1.07 changed the SC community from that of reports to replays. The role of the battle report changed from mainly teacher to dominantly entertainer. Although as starcraft aged older, writers lost their niches, and interest faded the amount of br.com reports generated on a daily basis.

Yet, as the light of hope grew dimmer, on the horizon the sun still had not set. Lust for power, applaud, praise, and victor still grabbed the spirits of men and women alike.  As our proud site changes, revolts, and churns the spirit remains and change is admired.
